Concealed Carry Handguns discussion

Re: guy who dropped his gun

Idiots should not have guns,
is what I learned.....

edited to make clearer

Just locally where I live really.

Me uses a Ruger P 94 40 or a snubb 38. Depends on where I am going. ya know what I mean. Hell sometimes I have carried both, with something special in the back seat of the truck. LOL

I don't conceal my 45. When I carry, they know.

I prefer small pistols to compensate for my giant penis.

I am particularly fond of my Inox Tomact, and just picked up a (Beretta) 70S in .380. Chambered in .22, these were at one time a favorite of Mossad...

Should have read Tomcat, of course...

I own a 21A most fun little gun, but I carry a Taurus ultra-light .38+p with a Crimson Trace laser sight... Hit em' with the laser and they back right up.

And miss and they know exactly where to aim!

I love my 1911. It's full size, but I'd like to get a short one. I've looked and looked and can't find one.

XD 45ACP, compact with a 5" barrel is my daily carry piece.
10+1 while in the holster and 2-13 round mags for spares.

Upgraded from a Ruger P90 in 45ACP. Was a good, solid pistol, but only 7+1 or 8+1 (though I don't like the 8 round mags, they stick out too far).

Any of you actually ever used your guns for self-defense?

If I wasn't in a college town, I would probably open carry over concealed carry.

Thankfully no.

Happily and thankfully, no... but I remember from one of your previous posts you have a different story to tell.

I almost bought the Bump a .25, but I figured it was cheaper for her to just carry a rock in her purse and she'd be better armed!






BTW, was your PPK/S made in or after March '02? If so, Walther/S&W has issued a recall (due to a possible faulty hammer block):

He was on a 47 knuckle head HD
Not a Yamaha Virago like the pictures since posted show.
Yammie is stable and gots great shocks. Knuckle is rigid frame and transmits all bumps to rider.
Have owned and ridden both.

My gun?
Cops surrounded me
Car on side of road. parked.
Cops in front and back and left side boxed me in.

Search found no weapon.
My Browning HP in holster on handlebars.
Stupid F*s missed it while feeling me up repeatedly.

I've only carried since I was 17.
Anyone else have any actual experience?

Somebody with a memory and paying attention.
Congratulations!

Most here have neither memory nor attention span.

Don't they?

Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?



Anyway, FWIW HS, I've always given your input on the subject a good read...

Unlike gun writers

i carry glock 26 daily

spare mags are glock 17 mags

both my 17 and 26 work in same holsters

most small parts interchangeable (firing pin/spring etc)

also have a .22 conversion upper for the 17 by advantage arms
works very well have killed quite a few field mice shooting .22 shot rounds out of the aa.22

also wanted to add that i really rike the modularity aspect of the glock

and they are only company to make factory 33 round magazines for their handguns

which opens up semi-submachinegun avenues

Only against a mountain lion. I was glad to have a large caliber handgun on me at the time. Had I been carrying a .22 derringer, I'd be cat poop right now.

A wolf once took a full magazine from a 9mm Hi-Power before dying. Last shots were right in his mouth.
Cougar is far more deadly than a wolf.

I bought a cub from the Grizzley Adams cougar.
Gordon Meredith had a private zoo near San Bernadino CA
Told when to get the cub declawed, I'd said I would not do so.
He took the 6 week old cub and threw her at me. Felt those baby claws scrape my ribs and realized I should not have a cougar for a pet.

Every gun owner is a pansy, pure and simple.

Forget that pansy gun. Why do you need a pansy gun? Go mono-e-mono with your would-be assailant.

What do you do when your assailant is holding a pistol and demanding that you suck his dick?

You can A: suck his dick, and pray that he doesn't shoot you when you try to bite it off

or B: Dive for cover and shoot his pecker off.

Good eye, bro!

However, it's not called a Virago any more, but the "son of Virago", a 2007 V-Star 1100. And like its daddy, the V-star is bulletproof, although there are a couple of silly things, like you have to take off the #2 exhaust pipe and loosen the LH floor board to remove the oil filter (I have a oil-filter relocation kit (ORK) , as do most people who own the bike). But other than that, it's stable, and even though it still has carbs rather than efi, it seems to work okay at altitudes of up to 8000'.

Unfortunately, I think the 2009 model will be the last one; Mamma Yamma is already phasing in belt-drive, liquid cooled EFI bikes to replace the air-coolder, shaftie, carbureted models like mine.

But I love the retro look, especially since I just got a set of Metzeler 880 white sidewalls.

Go pee-pee in my pants? Ok, I changed my mind. Go gun owners!
